This session presents a leadership case study on how Pendergast Elementary School District implemented and scaled immersive learning to address student engagement, attendance, and academic outcomes. District leaders will share why they invested in immersive, story-driven experiences within core instruction, how they sustained the program across classrooms, and the early results they are seeing as students show up more consistently, stay engaged, and do the work. The discussion highlights practical lessons learned and how Dreamscape Learn is used as an instructional tool to support deeper learning and prepare students with critical skills for success in school and beyond.
